(IB DP PHYSISC 2025) A1.2: Measuring Change: Speed and Velocity

A1.2: Measuring Change: Speed and Velocity (IB DP PHYSISC 2025) is a complete lesson for students taking the IB DP Physics exam after 2025.

This resource includes teaching notes, activities and examples with blank space for students to follow with their notes. Practice questions that can either be used as classwork or homework. A lesson plan. Answers to activities, examples and practice questions.

The worksheet first shows the students the mathematical notation for change and rate of change, giving them a shorthand way to show these. Then it builds on these to introduce and explain the concepts of instantaneous and average speed and velocity .

This should come after an introduction to kinematics distance and displacement. After this students could learn about acceleration as is also a rate of change.
